Especially as I'd been up late observing open star clusters in my 10x50 binoculars. So much to see up there and it barely costs you anything.
Today's run took me out on my old route to Coddington and back, and I was pleased to spot a flock of about 80 fieldfare in the field next to the windmill. As ever, despite their robust size, they are spooky birds and hard to get close to.
Getting home and visiting the elders, I found that indeed primroses are out now as well, just a pair of shy ones under the bramley tree. It was bright today, but hardly that springlike.

Who knew that Newark was so much warmer than Ipswich! No sign of either here
ReplyDeleteA pretty find under your Bramley tree!
ReplyDeleteWe're having a breezy day. After my 11 km run of yesterday I went to the pool and knocked out 30 lengths just to ease my muscles. Still no primroses, snowdrops, in fact only odd clumps of new grass.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased that the new life season is upon us

ReplyDeletePrimroses out here too. Did a 10km xc race today. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI think I could do with a nice long walk myself, I've been very lazy this month! Love those photos of the primroses and the way the sunshine is sparkling on top of the water there is gorgeous. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year too! - Tasha
